D. 3 to 5
This is because if you simplify the ratio by dividing each number in the ratio by 4, therefore for every group of 5 birds 3 of them are parrots
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a sphere can be determined by using the following formula:



Answer:
- using the rule given: 2.5
- using an exponential rule: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluating the linear rule given, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)(1) -1 = 7/2 -1 = 5/2 = 2.5
_____
We suspect you may intend the exponential function ...
an = 7(1/2)^(n-1)
Then, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)^(1 -1) = 7(1) = 7 . . . . the first term is 7
_____
When writing an exponential expression in plain text, it requires the exponential operator, a caret (^). If the exponent contains any arithmetic, as this one does, it must be enclosed in parentheses.
A & D are the correct answers!
Step 1:Distribute -2 into 5 and 8
Step 2:Subtract 6x from both sides
Step3: Add 16 to both sides
Step 4: Divide -16 into 30
